Dynamics of Cosmic Superstrings and the Overshoot Problem
Luca Brunelli, Michele Cicoli, Francisco Gil Pedro
We exploit the techniques of dynamical systems to study the cosmological evolution of cosmic fundamental strings and effective strings arising from branes wrapped on internal cycle…
The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics
Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess +533
The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades.…
Exploring the Dark Universe: A European Strategy for Axions and other WISPs Discovery
Deniz Aybas, Francesca Calore, Michele Cicoli +17
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim (with 1 GeV) particles (WISPs) are a common feature of several extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The search…
Growth of Cosmic Strings beyond Kination
Luca Brunelli, Michele Cicoli, Francisco G. Pedro
A novel mechanism for the production of a cosmic network of fundamental superstrings based on a time-varying string tension has been recently proposed in the context of a kinating…
Deep observations of the Type IIB flux landscape
Aman Chauhan, Michele Cicoli, Sven Krippendorf +3
We present deep observations in targeted regions of the string landscape through a combination of analytic and dedicated numerical methods. Specifically, we devise an algorithm des…
